On Application OF Guardian for Order of
Sale of Real Estate.
Arizona weekly citizen., 1887-08-06

JUDGE JOHN s. WooD has been before the Supervisors with proposition on water, that at once met with favorable reception. His plan, which by the way is a good one, is 70 form combination of interests for mutual advantages, at proportionste expenses, between the trustees School District No. 1, the May or and City Council of Tucson. and the Board of Supervisors of Pima county. The proposition is to dig a well sufi cientiy deep as to ensure sn ample sup ply of good, pure water for the district school. city an1 county buildings, and by means of 8 steam pump under the control of the school house jtnitor. force the water to any desired height or place. This same plan or one much similar was advocated by Mir. Samuel
 Hughes some SIX or seven years since, but being informed that it would take Sl 300 to influence the City Council in its behalf he abandoned the scheme al- though he already had considerable money ID it. The we'll, it is under stood. will be dug in the neiGhborhood of the district school. This will give the water to the county and city buildings, a fall of about thirty feet. and in sddi- tion to this, it is proposed 10 put up an enormous tank at any designated height and thus secure any amount of fall called for. The school house grounds are large and should be laid of and properly grsssed. This they undoubt- edlY will be If this water project becomes B veritible fact, otherwise the gounds will be compelled to retain tbeIr present dry, bare and unsign.ly appearance, as sn abundance of water will alone make an improvement possible. We think, however, ss we have waited so long that an extra couple of months will bring no hardshIps and in the meantime the story of the artesisn well on the University grounds will be told. Should 1t be Q success and the present compact hold good, let an Rrtesisn we'll bs sunk and an abundance will be assured for every body.

WITH irrigation everything agricul- tursl is possible, without 1t nothing ID that direction can be done. All the talk of hooIns. booming and boomers amounts to nothing pending the con- struction of water ditches and reser- voirs for water storage. Work, It is understood. will be recommended on tie Davidson water ditch at an early day, and the long promised Santa Cruz ditch will be commenced as soon as Mir. Samuel Hughes can clear titles to the land through which it passes. This he hopes speedily Co do. When accom- plished he promises with his own money to demonstrate the prscticability of his scheme then invite outside capital. which will readily be forthcoming, to complete and carry the project 10 n suc- cessful ending. Mir. Hughes says fur ther, that beyond the Sau Xavier dam at DO great expense, can be put in that will back the water for miles and create a reservoir that will hold sufficient water to irigste ten or more thousands of scres of lands, This water can be conducted on the messs east of town, and here again, reservoirs can be built Tn the Rulches and narrow valleys that inter
 sect the plain. These ofthemselves will be sufficient to control all the lands

SOME of the residents of Soutbern
 Pima have a surprise in store for them
 in the shape of the floating Baca land
 grant. This grant was originally loc.-
 ted in 1863 and in 1866 was practically confirmed to its owners. It l2I< miles square and contains 99, ,2S9, ,39 acres. and
 was originally located southwest of the Sslero mountain, but on being allowed to amend, the grant was practically swung around so that instead of head ing towards and taking in Tubsc, it comes this way, takes Tn Crittenden richardson & Gormley's ranch, and also Tom Gardiners Apache Springs ranch. It was originally intended that this grant should be on non-mineral lands' but selection having been made it is held by the secretary of the interior, that they cannot now change their location. even If the lands selected be mineral. Ihis ruling of secretary Lamar has been filed with the county recorder. The owners of this land were recently here. looking the matter up. They have the reputation of being fair minded gen. tlemen who propose to deal justly by the present occupants of the land.

IT is folly to talk of inviting immigrs-
 tion until we have something to invite them Co. We have 6 country rich but undeveloped, capable of supporting its teeming thousands. but we must first prepare the way. We must SO shspe it that new corners can by 6 moderate out lay make homes for themselves and fami- lies. This IS what Phenix did by its canals and this is what Florence is doing to-day. When the latter canal IS fin ishsd they have a something that people can be invited to. Ten thousand can blow the fields and make their homes along Its banks with room still left for thousands more. The same can be done here but not until We follow in the wake of Pheniy and Florence can we say to outsiders, come in and make your homes with us. One big canal will not only add to the population of the city but it will create both a producing and consuming community throughout the contiguous country. All the fruit and produce we now import hall ripe and half rotten from California can be raised here and put oD our markets fresh as they leave the tree and the vine. But all these things will not come of them selves. we must first hew out the way with big irrigsting canal and all the rest will follow.

below them Explorers iu the Sierrs
 Msdres report the finding of ancient
 cities that appear to have been wholly
 dependent for water on a great system of reservoirs. These were successively
 build in the various mountain gorges deoouching on the plains below. The bulk heads were of solid masonry, capa- ble of resisting the torrents that evil dently poured through them during the periods ofrain. These dams rose like successive tiers. one above another, far up the mountain side. Such a system as this can be make operative to-day. When Mir. Blsisdell of the Esperauza company, conceived the idea of running 70 stamp gold mill, from a damned canyon near by. he was laughed at by Knowing ones who prophesied faiInre. But Blaisdell at 6 cost of S5000 ran oulkhead across the mouth of the can- yon, and the first ram gave him four acres of Ssier of sufficient depth to run the mill year or more, If necessary. Stock men and sgriculturers will be found to come to this plan yet. With out water they can do nothing, with water everything.

The old saying o,"Dsmn B man who will not stand by his friends" will ID this particular in stance, be more honored in the breach ihsa ibe observance.

 EDITOR CITIzES>-As q citizen and resident of Graham county. where your valuable journal IS largely patronIEed and appreciated, ask tbe privilege of replying to the Star article of thIs date wherein over the signature of "J.

This evidently has been done to dull the edge. if such a thing be pos sible, of the sharp and pungent critic isms of the Clarion on tbis Judas Iscariot of the Arizons democracy. But at the same time this Judas did not dare make a personal attack oD the character of Mir. Stevens, so by inuendo s-d threats under cover of purpOrted Clifton com munication, he vents his little spleen in intiuating what he would like to do. And again. the article in question is Rn- tedated. The Clarion was not issued tIll the 27th whereas said communication bears date of the 26.h, just one day be- fore the Clarion was published Pin points may be sharp, but pm heads never. The article in the Clarion, which we trust MT. Editor, you will re2ublish for the benefit of your renders, while not calculated 70 soothe like balm of Gilead, fostering sores, IS. nevertheless, written iD spirit of fairness. aud more over with a str;ct adherence to :he truth, as it is generally known and be- Leyed by outsiders. II Mir.

Un- fortunately .hIs much cannot be said of his would be traiucer whom l md de spised iu his own home and execrsted the territory over.
